Asquith Announces Cabinet
Will Meet Objections Of
, fered by Critics.
FULL STATEMENT MADE
Sir Kdnard Carson Kxplaius liesig
nation, AVliIch He Declares Was
Due Mainly to- Delay In
Aiding h.crbia.
LONDON. Nov. 2. The Prime Minis
ter. Mr. Asquith. in tiie House of Com
mons today delivered before, tho larg
est assembly of the year his widely.
. Jieralded end much-discuased statement
on the progress of the war. The' Pre
miers speech was a characteristic one.
His most important declaration was
that the war will be conducted by a.
7tiabinet committee of from three to nve
members, jvhich will consult with the
full Cabinet on queutions of the most
eerious nature.
II is taken for granted that Premier
i-'iuitb, Lord Kitchener. Secretary for
Avar, and A. J. Balfour. First Lord of
the Admiralty, will be members of this
committee. The plan was explained
and seems in the nature of a compro
mise to meet the criticism that a Cabi
net of 22 members is unwieldy.
Dardanelles Move Kxplainril.
With respect to the Dardanelles op-
. orations, the Premier insisted on tak
ing his full share of the responsibility.
These operations, he said, were de
signed to influence the Balkan situa
tion, open the way for supplies for the
Ttusstans and strike a blow at the heart
of the Turkish Empire. The allied
forces at the Dardanelles. Mr. Asquith
pointed out. were holding up 200,000
I urks. Ho gave no indication of what
the future policy would be on this im
portant section of the war front, say
ing merely:
"1 cannot say more as regards this
particular sphere of the theater of the
war. It is too soon to pronounce final
judgment. The situation in the Dar
danelles is receiving our most careful
and anxious consideration, not as an
isolated thingr. but as part and parcel
of the larger strategic question."
The opinion in the lobbies of the
House, according to some reports, is
that it is not proposed to abandon the
Dardanelles operations.
Canon TelU AVSiy He Resigned.
Sir Edward Carson, the ex-Attorney-Oeneral.
was listened to with almost as
great attention as was Mr. Asquith. He

inlth fo that effect on October 12.
The ex-Attorney-General told Mr
Asquith that he was aware of the diffi
culties suggested by the general staff,
hut that he felt conlident that if troops
were concentrated at Salonlki and the
Jiaval power used, it would demonstrate
that England had resolved to preserve
their country for tho Serbians. The
result would be that Bulgaria would
